That's fine if your ISP doesn't have draconian caps. I have over 2TB of stuff (legal, mind you, lets not get a redundant "You must be pirating" theme going). Mostly photos and video content. My ISP caps at 100GB per month. Online backup is not a viable option except for my most important stuff. I use the offsite backup drive method, however I don't have two sets that I swap, I just have one offsite backup that I bring home from work ever other week.
I'm sure quickly enough someone will port it to be installable without Windows. I'm sure it was meant to be for the typical user who has windows installed first, and just wants the instant on one for when they just need the browser quickly and the computer is not on. Someone, anti-MS or not, will port it, I'm sure. Isn't open source great?
I would not want to rent my books, because I want to keep them for reference in the career that they are supposedly providing us! I mean, how are you going to remember EVERYTHING in those books beyond a semester or two after the class, let alone when you actually need it out in the professional world? I think the only books I sold back were for some of my freshman level stuff like anicent history, sociology, etc. I kept all the rest of my engineering books and even some other books I found interesting, like my American Literature anthology books.
Plus they look really good on my shelf at work;)
Mod parent WAY up! This could be devastating for information distribution. Look around on stories that link from here, Digg, Gizmodo, wherever, and see how many of them say "Copyright by blahblahblah". Imagine not being able to find that information except by checking all of those websites individually. Aggregation could be killed by this.
That's not as bad as the last time I was in the Las Vegas airport a couple of years ago, but I actually found that most if not all of the outlets in the passenger gate areas did not function. I guess they turn off the breakers except when needed to keep people from stealing their power.
Now what they need to do is make an app that will allow me to load all the old floppies with these games into DosBox in some way that it will act like floppies, virtual drives or such.
And this is why structural engineers are paid more typically. Their designs failing can kill people. As an HVAC engineer, if my design fails, people will just be uncomfortable.
I used to get catalogs from a marketing company despite opting out via dmachoice.org, as they were a member of the Direct Marketing Association.
I would get at least 2 catalogs a week from these people despite letters and phone calls asking them to stop. Well, After that didn't work, I collected all the catalogs over a 3 month period, stuffed them in a large envelope and sent them back to the company postage due. I never received another catalog from them.
If my US ISP knew I had some second hand IP-phones, a second hand computer for a TrixBox FOSS PBX, and a pay-as-you-go IAX/SIP trunk ($5 a month for local phone number, plus 2Â/min), you can bet they would TRY to shut me off since they also offer (crappy) VoIP service. But all I should have to do is say, "fine, I will take my business elsewhere" and they will roll over like a puppy if they care about surviving, anti-competitive-behavior arguments aside.
If you work for an employer who does these sorts of sleazy things, why are you still employed there and not looking for another job? They obviously don't deserve your services. I know, I know, "the economy sucks"...but my point still stands.
No idea why my previous comment got cut off, but what I meant to say is that the government could put this "fee" into the federal reserve so they can give more bailouts to the cellular industry.

Except that in many jurisdictions the criminal activity of others cuts off liability.
IE if Microsoft provides software, and someone else exploits it, the criminal activity of the third party cuts off liability to Microsoft.
Although this area is the site of a great deal of mistakes and consequences resulting from negligence back in the day, those of us who live here are proud of our history....And the fact that we are our own nightlights!
But I digress, the community that has been formed around this area is just one of those gems that makes you want to live here for a very long time. I have lived here my whole life and the history, the community, and the natural beauty of the area are what keep me here.
If anyone wants to see a great documentary of what happened out there, and how much crap is being cleaned up, buy the DVD Arid Lands from sidelongfilms.com. From a native's perspective, it is the best explanation and analysis of the history and community that I have ever seen.
As a private enterprise, they have the right to restrict what they want. And they figure that more people that visit their site than not would not like looking at it. And if they are after traffic numbers for ad providers, they will do whatever gets them the most views. Capitalism at work.
And furthermore, I have noticed that a lot of breastfeeding moms just tend to be REALLY sitting on a cactus all the time when it comes to breastfeeding in public, general attitudes about breastfeeding in public, and that doesn't usually get news unless it is a slow news day.

I have been doing genetic engineering for years and am quite an expert at it. Anyone can do it! Just stand on the streetcorner in a revealing getup and ask for money.
As Atrus would say, "Sometimes the past is painful to remember..."
"I've opened the door for my dreams to escape."
That is esentially what Rand Miller has done. Bravo, Atrus, bravo.
This is exactly why MMO's don't lend themselves well to keeping a historical imprint on society.
One part of what defines us is what we did for entertainment, but without a real hard copy of a game (be it CD, cartridge, etc.), the archaeologists of tomorrow will never know what time we REALLY wasted.
In fact that's one BIG problem with everything going to bits, everything needs electricity at some point to keep the records. One big EMF smackdown on the earth and its as if we never even existed past the early 2000's.
You are right, if there is little ventilation needed, heatwheels have little usefulness.
I am an HVAC engineer, and heatwheels are mainly used where you need a decent amount of outside air to keep people happy (and alive, CO2 buildup is bad). In the summer they take the cool air being exhausted and use that to absorb some heat from the fresh air stream coming in, reducing the load on the refrigeration or chilled water cooling system (unless the economizer is bringing in 100% outside air for free cooling in the proper conditions, in which case the point is moot). In the winter the opposite happens, the warm air going out gets some heat transferred to the fresh air coming in.
For data centers, it is most often more efficient just to have good insulation in there and have a ductless split air conditioner in there with MAYBE a little exhaust fan and small air intake to keep it habitable for humans depending on how often they go in there. Though if electricity is expensive enough, and in the right climate, an economizer and 100% outside air cooling may be viable. It just depends on the outside conditions.

Assuming this is a fairly recent computer with SATA, why do you need a frickin bay caddy to add a second hard drive? Ever heard of eSATA?
Nah, can't do that, teacher might use the camcorder to videotape students in the locker room.

Is this a review of the Kindle itself? Or the Kindle experience? Seems to be a bit wishy washy to me.
